Rush was pretty out of line with his comment, particularly if you read the script of what Sandra Fluke actually said (link is here: http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/what-did-sandra-fluke-really-say/408191)
Whether contraception should be provided under insurance or not, calling Sandra Fluke a slut was not appropriate. Rush (or perhaps his legal team) have realized this.
Given that many married couples use the pill as contraception, does that make the wife some sort of prostitute under this legislation? If the wife doesn’t work and the husband does and he pays for contraception, does that make him a john?
Should contraception (such as the pill) be covered if it is used to treat a medical condition (other than avoiding getting knocked up)?
Is Viagra covered under current health insurance? Why shouldn’t the pill be treated similarly?
“Should contraception (such as the pill) be covered if it is used to treat a medical condition (other than avoiding getting knocked up)?”
If the insurance companies decide to cover it, it should. The government should have nothing to do with it.
Rush is just calling them like he seems ‘em.
$3,000.00 per year on BC?
$8.33 per day?
That’s a girl that “gets around” to put it mildly.
Rush didn’t.
I’m sure Rush pays for his Viagra, not you and I like we do for this Fluke girl and her sexual escapades.
FLUKE stated that some were paying $1000 per year b/c insurance wouldn’t cover it. And, oh the embarrassment! Since women can get the pill for under $10 per month at Wal-Mart, she is a liar and a creep. Rush’s comments were NOT out of line. These frauds get paraded before Congress all the time, and I’m proud of Rush for ridiculing her prepared spiel. Bob
